A new Pew Research poll finds that just 34% of Americans approve of President Trump’s overall job performance, while 59% disapprove.

“However, Trump’s job approval rating is higher than those of Republican and Democratic congressional leaders. Just 22% approve of the way Republican congressional leaders are doing their jobs, down 12 percentage points since February. Job ratings for Democratic leaders are not quite as negative (29% approve), though also are lower than in February (37%).”

1. Congress never has a high approval rating.

It’s a monolith, not human, and traditionally full of gridlock.

This view is irrespective of whatever party is in control.

Now, the approval ratings of individual members is usually much higher. Especially in districts that heavily favor one party over another.
